“…we also thank God…because when you 1RECEIVED THE WORD OF GOD which you heard from us, YOU WELCOMED IT not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, THE WORD OF GOD, which also 2EFFECTIVELY WORKS IN YOU who believe.” (1 Thess. 2:13) 1paralambanō: to take into the mind. 2energeō: put forth power. Now, we must remember they did not have bibles.
